Similar sized Pitcairn parts could easily get up to 19.5% overclock from 1ghz without touching power limits or core volts. 20% overclock is when you needed to change power limits and a little core V bump. So these parts should easily manage 20-30% overclock on finfets from 1.2ghz stock.

I can't see 4GB vs 8GB cost an extra ~£100.
Or just having a single card from one SKU.
I think Tweak Town let slip there...
If RX 480 benchmarks hit before Jun 29 the NDA is protecting a 490, the $300 card
Not at all and was a statement of fact. I will be getting one for reviews and from what we can work out, it will be faster than a 970 and possibly even a 980, use less electric and as pointed out by me here and in the past, that power usage equates to less heat, so a sweet card for ITX cases etc and a lot of performance to boot. The discussion had turned around to the TDP again and my comment was part of that but didn't overly elaborate. I have just finished work as well, so no chance of gaming before. Still no joy with the 6850K and waiting for OcUK to reply to my tech question
I think the heat is getting to some today and taking anything said completely out of context to have an argument
As for the NVidia milking, that discussion is for other threads
$100 but yeah would be £100 with all the not so accurate exchange rates that get used.
thats why id say there should be another card at $300 but for now no one knows and if they do they wont say. hopefully tomorrow amd will say and show something worthwhile and not more aots rubbish.
Are you sure it would be a 490? and not a rx 480x (or however they want to call it)?
I reckon It would be strange of AMD to span two numbers of gpu with the same chip (and also would be tiny compared to other 90's).
Unless AMD managed to fully cloak another gpu from everyone.

Speak for yourself it's 10c here!

At GTX 970 performance no one will buy it as the 390 is faster than that.
At GTX 980 performance yes but its not going to be very popular.
It needs to be 390X performance at least.
Ouch. But then again, I wouldn't mind that when I am on an all day session gaming
Faster than a 970 and under $200, people will buy it.
The 390x and 980 are almost exactly the same. Anyway that would be really good I it overclocked a further 10-20% it would get to near FuryX performance.
Ouch. But then again, I wouldn't mind that when I am on an all day session gaming

Summer has been. It was last Tuesday. We all enjoyed it. Back to the pc woo!

If it's only around 970/390 performance then it's underwhelming. But since it's 5.83 Teraflops we can safely say it's should be aound 390X performance and possibly a bit faster die to architectural improvements. The 390 is 5.1 teraflops for reference.
With overclocking I expect it to be at least Fury Pro performance and possibly touching Fury Nano.

Once more for prosperity.
gotta love anything that has THEORETICAL stamped on it being used as an indicator.
Ahem. Furo Pro is faster than Nano. Sorry as a Pro owner this must be announced
My mistake. I always thought the Fury nano was faster because it was a full fiji core. That means with overclocking the 480 should almost definitely get to Fury nano level.
Depends on if it is already at fury nano performance from what early leaks show.
eh?
